UserAccountControl: ComputerManagementDsc vs SecurityPolicyDsc
Out of curiosity: what's would be the use case for me to use the UserAccountControl resource in the ComputerManagementDsc module instead of the setting the User_Account_Control* keys for the SecurityOption resource in the SecurityPolicyDsc module?
Hi @aydeisen - there does seem to be some cross over with both resources. This does happen from time-to-time - especially when there are multiple ways of achieving something using PowerShell. In this case the UserAccountControl resource has a less granular option for setting parameters.
But from an implementation perspective, UserAccountControl sets values in the registry directly where as SecurityOption uses secedit.exe to set the options.
